“Using bike riding and racing to raise dollars for area charities was a natural extension of what we love to do” said Board President Rob Hocking. “We’ve spent over 3 years of developing the Elmhurst Cycling Classic into a fantastic community event with a charitable impact, laying the groundwork for growing and expanding our use of cycling for philanthropy.”

“We’re pretty pleased that we can enhance our community with cycling as our tool, ”Hocking added. “Cycling has a way of bringing people together, which is the basis for all thriving communities.”
